French articles can sometimes be confusing for students because they need to agree with the nouns

they modify. They also don’t correspond to articles in many other languages.
As a general rule, if you have a noun in French there is always an article in front of it, unless you use
some other determiner like a possessive (mon, ton) or demonstrative (ce, cette) adjective.
There are three different kinds of articles in French, definite, indefinite and partitive.
.   le – the; him, it – definite article (referring to a masculine singular noun)

la – the; her, it – definite article (referring to a feminine singular noun)

l’ – the – definite article (used instead of le or la before nouns beginning with a vowel)
 les – the, them – definite article/ pers. pronoun (referring to a plural noun)
  au – at the, to the, in the – definite article (used with a singular masculine noun)
  aux – (a+ les) of the – definite article
un – a, an, one – indefinite article (used before a masculine noun)
une – a, an, one – indefinite article (used before a feminine singular noun)
des – some, any – indefinite/ partitive article (used before a m or f plural noun)
du – some/any – partitive article (masc. singular)
 de la – some/any – partitive article (feminine singular)
